You don’t need 20” to clear those brakes. Also, those NA v8s are plenty fine. If nothings wrong why fix a good engine? Mopar is killing it because it’s be a reliable engine and more money can be spent R&D next gen stuff vs trying to fix small issues with yearly updates. Honesty I’m not a fan of all these options/add ons. Or the ones you do want, you have to first add XYZ. Seems like a slick marketing tactic. I’d be more thriller with several option choices but include more for your buck with those options.I almost ordered a Challenger Scat pack with dynamics package but wanted to wait and see what the 20 offered. It looks like not much has changed. I really wanted more interior color options. They did add caramel color seats, but not on the doors as far as I can see in pics (makes no sense if true) and a flat bottom steering wheel with some packages. I probably should have got one with the hp discount as the new ones look to be pricey until they start offering some incentives. With the packages I would want you have to get 20" wheels (for winter wheel/tires) to clear the brakes unless I went with the 1320, but those come with drag radials and it looks like you have to get black interior.
Yeah, the platform is old and heavy, but it is solid and I like it. But I don't like the fact that the NA V8's haven't been updated at all in over 5 years. I just saw on Youtube it looks like there will be a turbo 6 option with the next gen in 23. Its supposed to range from 360 to 525hp with electric assist to eliminate turbo lag. Sounds very interesting and if they lighten the cars any, could be pretty quick. But one of the draws to the Challenger is the retro looks and I don't know what to think of one without the V8 at least for the sound. Maybe they will change up the styling to be more of the direction that the Camaro and Mustang has gone? I'm really digging the new 20 Camaro SS too (maybe in rally green with white or tan interior), but they still do have their issues. The visibility doesn't bother me as much as the small trunk. But being a single guy, not that much of a deal breaker I guess.
